Green Infrastructure Network Delivery Program

A wildlife underpass extending from a bushy side of the road underneath the road to the other side. The pass has wooden beams for climbing animals and a fence above it to stop animals jumping on to the road.

City of Moreton Bay's green infrastructure projects enhance our local environments. They support the city's future growth with environmental, social and economic benefits.

Road safety for motorists and local wildlife

Our green infrastructure projects improve road safety by reducing motorist accidents. They also provide safe pathways for animals to move between parks and reserves. Key features of the program include:

  • fauna rope bridges and underpasses
  • roadside (animal exclusion) fencing
  • compensatory tree planting when required.

Tree planting and nest boxes

Street tree plantings enhance Moreton Bay's neighbourhoods' character, appeal, and liveability. They also support healthy urban communities by:

  • providing cooler and greener pathways
  • improving air quality and managing stormwater
  • providing wildlife habitat.

Since 2017, the program has planted over 35 kilometres of shade trees. They're planted around local schools to encourage students to walk or ride. Council is continuing this work across the city and has already planted trees in:

  • Caboolture
  • Deception Bay
  • Kallangur
  • Kippa-Ring
  • Margate
  • Murrumba Downs.

Council also installs nest boxes in parks and road reserves to support wildlife. Nest boxes provide refuge for wildlife and play an important role in conservation.
